"More people are aware; It keeps people alert," he said. "If they know she hasn't been found yet, perhaps people will remember that and if they see something, they might say something."

A 29-year-old Hayward man was charged with six felonies and a misdemeanor after police in Union City identified him as a local drug dealer with a diverse menu for sale, court records show. The unidentified man was charged on Jan. 22 with selling cocaine, methamphetamine, ketamine, psilocybin mushrooms and MDMA, court records show. He also faces a misdemeanor count for allegedly selling marijuana.

The arrest followed a months-long investigation into several illegal gambling operations in Sarasota County resulting in a search warrant for the "41 Social Club," an announcement from the sheriff's office alleges. During the warrant, a total of 66 slot machines, along with U.S. currency, were seized from the business. It has also been said that additional evidence located included a cease and desist letter from SCSO that was provided to the business in April 2025.

Officers are trained to not stand in front of or reach into moving vehicles, to never pull their firearms unless it is absolutely necessary, and to use force only in proportion to a corresponding threat. They are trained to clearly identify themselves, de-escalate tensions, respect the sanctity of life and quickly render aid to anyone they wound.

Sheehan criticized the federal response to the shooting, citing comments made by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who initially described Good's actions in the moments leading up to her death as domestic terrorism. Noem also accused Good of attempting to weaponize her vehicle against agents on the scene. "[Noem] came out in the cowboy hat and said it was domestic terrorism, trying to run over an officer, and then the footage came out and didn't speak to that at all," Sheehan said.

California wildlife officials announced they have dismantled a large underground wildlife trafficking operation in Fresno and Madera counties, after federal agents intercepted a falsely labeled international shipment, Gov. Gavin Newsom's office said Friday. The investigation began after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intercepted a shipment bound for Fresno. It was from Thailand and falsely labeled, containing four elephant trunks.

Again, when you take into account all of the factors that none of us know because we weren't there we don't know what precipitated that, we don't know what happened before. And unfortunately they interfered with an ongoing law enforcement investigation and that is something you just don't do. Normal law-abiding citizens don't do that. There's nothing wrong with exercising their Amendment rights to record, but when you start interfering, that's tough.

Do you carry your passport? Your Social Security card? I do carry my passport, actually, everywhere I go keep it in my backpack. I travel a lot, I use it sometimes, he answered before noting: Look, I didn't hear the resolution of that [the ICE agents' interaction with the woman in the video] by the way, and I didn't hear a direct answer to the question, either. I'd love to know how that interaction turned out.

Starbucks said on Tuesday that it had conducted an investigation of the incident and had fired the employee who had handed over the coffee cup at the drive-thru window, even though the investigation found that the drawing was not intentionally meant to be offensive. Starbucks spokesperson Jaci Anderson said the drawing of a popular meme, John Pork, was created in the morning, hours before the deputy visited the coffee shop.

A former Navy SEAL with neo-Nazi beliefs faces up to 10 years in prison after he was convicted of transporting fireworks across state lines with the intent to injure law enforcement at a "No Kings" protest in San Diego, authorities said. FBI agents found messages on Gregory Vandenberg's phone indicating he was upset with President Trump because he believed the U.S. government is controlled by Israel and the Jewish people, according to the Department of Justice.

I can honestly say the expression of appreciation by others was regularly awkward to receive, yet contributed significantly to my well-being. I later learned that receiving appreciation with grace not only eased that comfort level but was also a gift to the other person. Now, in this stage of my life, I am very intentional about expressing my appreciation for those still wearing the badge, and I approach the moment with authenticity and an understanding of how my expression may be received.

Just before 3 p.m. Tuesday, the FBI's National Threat Operation Center contacted the Dalton Police Department about a man who called the center and made claims that "sparked mental health concerns," according to the Berkshire District Attorney's Office. The man reportedly told the NTOC that he was paranoid that law enforcement were listening to his phone calls, alleged that he and his family were attacked by organized crime groups, and expressed fears about a "machine" in his basement.

Within two years, it had spread to every continent. Members - a lot of them teenagers - were finding kids as young as nine on Minecraft and Roblox. They'd befriend them, earn their trust, then trap them. They forced children to hurt themselves on camera. To hurt animals. To do things I'm not going to describe here. That kid from Texas is serving eighty years now. But 764 didn't stop. It splintered and kept growing.

We're aware of the situation,

New South Wales police said public order and riot squad officers would carry the weapons at the fifth and final Ashes Test, which starts on Sunday at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), after similar measures were implemented at the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne and New Year's Eve events in Sydney. Police said the decision was not due to any active or imminent threat.

"I look at the audience as a spice rack," he said. "I know I'm gonna make a great meal; I'm just not sure of the ingredients yet."

But what would happen if such a technology were to land in the hands of terrorists and criminals, who aren't beholden to the norms of modern warfare at all? In a new report, pan-European police agency Europol's Innovation Lab has imagined a not-so-distant future in which criminals could hijack autonomous vehicles, drones, and humanoid robots to sow chaos - and how law enforcement will have to step up as a result.

Desperate to focus on anything other than competently running a railroad, Amtrak made news this fall by arresting a couple hundred men for "public lewdness" in Penn Station, the implication being that they were cruising the bathrooms there for sex. This caused a minor uproar. New York's Rep. Jerry Nadler sent a letter demanding Amtrak, "Cease ... targeting members of the LGBTQ community ... on the basis of their perceived sexual orientation."

On Saturday, a man killed two Brown University students, injuring nine others, before traveling to Brookline on Monday to fatally kill an MIT professor. On Thursday, law enforcement officials found him dead in a storage facility in New Hampshire. Since then, AP reported that police said information from a tipster who had a strange encounter with the man outside Brown University was key to their finding the suspect.

President Donald Trump signed a bill into law Thursday that allows local and state law enforcement officials to disable drones during sporting events, a change long sought by the the NFL and other major leagues. "We thank President Trump and our Congressional champions from both political parties who took decisive action to keep fans safe," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "With a rising number of drones flying in restricted airspace, it is critical that state and local law enforcement have the tools to prevent harm. This important step will help protect fans at stadiums across the country."

The FBI and multiple Los Angeles law enforcement agencies held a joint press conference Monday to announce that they'd disrupted a Southern California bomb plot planned for New Year's Eve, according to PBS. Four suspects were allegedly testing their bombs in San Bernardino County this past Friday, as seen below in FBI surveillance footage, and SFGate reports they were planning to detonate the bombs in at least five different Southern California locations on New Year's Eve.

The person in their 20s was released after the investigation ended up going in a different direction, according to the mayor of Providence, Brett Smiley. We have not yet solved this case, but I am confident we are going to do that in the near future, Rhode Island attorney general Peter Neronha said, adding there was only a quantum of evidence which justified detaining this person as a person of interest.

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Hundreds of law enforcement officers from 23 different agencies coming as far south as Salinas and north to Los Altos descended on a Target store in San Jose on Wednesday, armed with big smiles and goodwill to join nearly 200 elementary school students on a holiday shopping spree. This was Shop With a Cop Foundation of Silicon Valley's 18th annual event, which many officers some wearing Santa hats and reindeer antlers call their favorite day of the year.
